A healthy mind in a healthy body: that's how you could sum up these exhibitions! Hundreds of works and creations come together to delight our eyes, while telling us about sport, its history and its players, past and present... Fashion, health, representation in art, great figures or popular practices: the subjects are numerous. And the list is growing all the time in these special times.
Between the Rugby World Cup, the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, but also soccer, tennis or golf tournaments, sports races, major equestrian meetings or unusual tournaments, there can be no doubt: Paris is a city of sportsmen and women!
These major events also influence the programming of the city's museums, galleries and art foundations, which offer a variety of sports-related exhibitions. If you love art, sport or both, you're in for a treat!
